The thermal paste itself receives positive feedback, and many appreciate its affordability. However, some users note a less-than-ideal consistency in the product.

    On my Xbox One S i removed the dried compound and replaced it with the XTM50 and the graphics seem to run smoother after an hour of use. Also seems like no more glitchy menus and such.

    I honestly only needed it once, I'll keep it just incase but if you don't regularly build/upgrade PCs it's probably better you buy it "used" from somebody

    This was the only brand at Best Buy one day when I was in a pinch and had to buy something locally. My CPU didn't burn up, so there's 2 stars for that. I replaced it as soon as I could order good replacement paste. This is worse than KPx, PK-3 nano, Kryonaut, Kryonaut Extreme, MX-4, MX-5, MX-6, NT-H1, NT-H2, and just about any other paste I've ever tested. I'd rather use Arctic Silver 5 (the classic OG paste). In the same test, my CPU was running at least 10°C hotter than it was with the first 4 on the list above. The paste shouldn't make that big of a difference, but I even cleaned, reapplied, and reseated to make sure it wasn't just a bad mount. This stuff is bad.

    OK paste, not great performance to cost ratio

    This paste works, but you can get better performing thermal paste for the same cost. I say this is an average thermal paste at best

    Very thick paste. Most of the time it balls up on the syringe and doesn't stick to the processor. Thermal performance was "ok".

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I do not like this thermal past at all. I bought this because my temps from my nzxt kraken x73 was at 60c idle and then i used corsairs thinking itd be a better improvement but nope made my temps higher and way too overpriced for what you pay for. Just buy arctic mx-4
